Designer described set as a dingy warehouse basement that has been taken over and filled for this podcast. I've always used Rosco paints so when I took over this position, I slowly built our inventory of Rosco paints (ie- Off-Broadway and Super Sats) I find they blend well together and offer a wide variety of colors to be mixed. They are also versatile for our uses here in the shop (ie- faux finishes, spraying).

We use Rosco because of the quality of paint and consistency of colour and pigmentation. I used mainly Rosco Supersaturated on this drop to maximize the amount of colour with the minimal amount of product. Rosco Off Broadway was used to help give robustness to the dark stripes and the lettering/detail.

1) In this production of Seussical, the Musical at West Springfield High School, many Rosco products were used. The backdrop shown used Rosco Off-Broadway Sky Blue, Pthalo Green, Emerald Green, Purple, Magenta, Orange, and Ultramarine Blue. It also used Super Saturated Fire Red and Emerald Green. Rosco Flexbond was used in the trees seen in front of the backdrop. The trees were made with muslin, white glue, white paint, chicken wire, Rosco Off-Broadway Magenta, Fire Red, Orange, and Flexbond.

2) Up-close in progress picture described in photo 1. Wet blends, two coat primes, and textural effects were all made using Rosco paint.

3) In the production of The Music Man at West Springfield High School, Rosco Off-Broadway Fire Red, Yellow Ochre, Magenta, Raw Umber, and Burnt Sierra were used, as well as Rosco Super Saturated Iron Red and Van Dyke Brown. We sponged many colors together to create texture to look like brick.

4) In the production of the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe at West Springfield High School, Rosco FX were used with a fog machine to create an effect behind the stone table being cracked. All scenery present in the picture (table, trees) had Rosco paint used on them; Payne Grey, Van Dyke Brown, Pthalo Green.

These are examples of oversized fruit I created for the boutique candy store "It'Sugar", while working for V.D.A. in Somerville, MA. They were installed in the Atlantic City location, and hang on the Sugar Tree, where the gummy candies are displayed. The peach is approximately 22" tall, the strawberry and grapefruit segment are each about 16" tall.
I carved them from bead foam, then they were hard-coated with a poly-resin and sanded. I used both hand-brush and spray techniques, with ROSCO Off Broadway and Supersaturated colors. The mixability of ROSCO colors allowed me to match the candy examples provided by the client. The last step was coating with a transparent glimmer dust and clear coat to mimic the sugar coating on the candies.

This project was for a Costume Crafts Project. Our assignment was to make Armour. I chose to replicate two shields from the movie How To Train Your Dragon. I made these using very little information from the movies because there was not alot to go on, the images from the production are the best of shields that I could find after searching through the internet for hours. I used one inch B/C ply for the base of the shields. I made a stencil and pounced the design onto the shield and then used Rosco Super Sat and Broadway paint to produce the colors on the shields. The red was watered down and gave a really unique stain look that the shields have. The "metal" pieces in the center of the shield were created using faShape over molds and the outer edge that is made to look like metal is Masonite. The metal color was created using craft spray paint, sadly not Rosco brand, do you guys make spray paint? the painted parts of the shield except for the metal parts were coated with Polyurethane to give it a shine. Research photos included for reference.

For The Classic Theatre of San Antonio's production of John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation, the Director/Scenic Designer, Diane Malone, chose to represent many of the locations in the play as "art" in frames. The frames were mounted in floor to grid standards. The look desired was sleek and modern. Aluminium tubing would be ideal, but costly. She chose 2x2x1/16 steel tubing. To achieve the aluminium finish, she selected Rosco Off-Broadway 5385 Silver. The look was perfect. Photography by Dwayne Green.

The March 2012 Colby College Theater & Dance Department production of "Tartuffe" was painted almost exclusively with Off Broadway paints; including some metallic and acrylic gloss finishes. Scene painting was done by Designer/Scenic Artist Kim Powers; working with students from five different classes. Many different processes were employed, but for the flats, a multi-color spray was applied on to a smooth base, followed by cartooning, lining (paint, not marker), highlights and shadows.

Rosco SuperSat paints were used along with contact cement to create the dirty grimy effect on the sewer pipes. They were also used (in very thinned out quantities) to make the backdrop translucent.

For a production of "The Exonerated" at L.A. Pierce College, the designer specified a plank wood floor. With our students, we created the look with paint.
We are currently operating in a temporary preformance space while our theater is being renovated. The stage floor is masonite. First we primed the floor with some paint left over from a previous show. Then we laid down a base of tinted burnt sienna and yellow ocher, wet blended in streaks from downstage to upstage. We always use Rosco Off-Broadway paint in our shop. We added the grain using graining tools and two different color mixes, primarily burnt sienna and burnt umber, heavily thinned. We also used a check roller on some boards, and did a spatter and drag technique with burnt umber deepened with black on some other boards for variety. We added a shadow and highlight line at the "end" of each plank. Finally, we brushed on a protective coating of Off-Broadway clear flat acrylic glaze, mixed with 25% clear gloss glaze and 50% water.

The most interesting part was the brick used in both the Mission and the Roxy theatre. It's full sheets of contractor's insulation. The rectangles were created using a router, and a heck of a lot of TLC. Then the crevices were filled with grey. The bricks themselves were rolled with a redish brown that we mixed ourselves, then after it dried, we dry brushed a lighter red/brown. Then we painted a few black.

This partially built mastodon skeleton was for a world premiere production of a play called "Etherdome". I first carved the leg bones, skull, and vertabrae separately out of a foam and then applied them to a steel and wooden structure. (The ribs were cast from another material.) I then coated them with two coats of Rosco's Foamcoat (with the first being cut with a little water). Before it was dry but had had a chance to set up a bit, I used different tools create various textures on the bones. Once dry, I sanded some areas smooth and then completed the paint.

This was for our recently spring musical 'Guys and Dolls' the student designed and built Hot Box set. The arch is accordion style built from luan and painted with Rosco Spectrum Red, Rosco Gold, and Rosco Velour black.

We started by cutting a three foot thick plain arch and measuring six inch increments around the arc. Then we took the center point and used a chalk line as a straight edge to mark the rays of the arch to make the accordion shape. The outer points were measured at a six inch slope while the inner points were reduce to a four inch slope.

After cutting the arch it was primed with the house primer and then painted with the spectrum red. Then the gold was applied to one side of the arch to create the highlight while the velour black was used to create the shading on the other side.
